The first time i heard of Leo DiCaprio I thought he was a fagot. That was because of his role in Titanic which i have not watched till today(because I'm afraid I'll cry). I thought to myself another pretty backstreet boy. Then I surprisingly found him delightful in "Catch Me if You Can" starring alongside Tom Hanks. Then he BLEW MY F***KING MIND(if you noticed i spelt that wrong) in Blood Diamond where he starred with Djomn um... Djomunod..Djimonound um.. (just insert an African name here). Then i realised he's just a really versatile actor and is one of the best ones out there tackling some of the most challenging roles out there. This guy could play Mother Theresa if you gave him 6 months to research her character.

So i had high hopes for his new movie "Shutter Island" and me and my boys went out to catch it on premier night. I bought my ticket. Payed way too much for god damned popcorn and drinks. Really a large(shitty) popcorn and carbonated sugar water costs 20 bucks these days? I don't even like the popcorn here. I wish i had caramel popcorn again mmmmm... anyway...i'm getting sidetracked again...

So grab my overpriced condiments head into the theater find a seat in an over crowded cinema and wait anxiously. Trailer after endless trailer plays on. I had already finished my gummy candy before the movie started. Not a good thing. Mmmmmm gummy candy. Anyway finally the lights dim. A sure sign the movie is going to start. I hope there's a naked girl in this movie make my damn $10.50 worth it for this ticket if the movie is going to be bad. But it turns out I left once again with my mind blown away. I like good intellectual movies. I'm sick of movies like American Pie being doing so well because a large majority of people out there are idiots. No offense idiots. I would highly suggest going to watch this movie. Martin Scorsese did a wonderful job directing this movie as well.

Now caution: The following may contain spoilers. Don't read it unless you don't intend on watching the movie.

The plot is about a fire Marshall(DiCaprio) sent to Shutter Island which is an island that houses the most dangerous mentally ill patients who have a history of violence. Can you say good movie already? DiCaprio and his partner are there to investigate the escape of a patient and it seems that nobody wants to share anything with him and it seems they are hiding something. Then..... GO WATCH THE DAMN MOVIE. I didn't spend $40 so you could read about it in my review.

I'm still not watching Titanic.

peace,
